Fans (Steel & Composite)
Steel engine fans are typically made of stamped or welded steel and are commonly used in older or traditional vehicles. They are generally durable and can withstand high temperatures and stresses. However, they are relatively heavy, which can affect engine performance, and they can also be noisy during operation.
Composite engine fans, on the other hand, are made from lightweight materials such as reinforced plastic or carbon fiber. They are commonly used in modern vehicles and high-performance applications. They are lighter than steel fans, which can improve engine performance and fuel efficiency. Additionally, composite fans are often quieter during operation than steel fans.
Composite engine fans are designed to be highly resistant to heat and stresses, and they can also be engineered to provide improved airflow compared to steel fans. However, they may be more expensive than steel fans and may require special tools or techniques for installation.
